Unfair dismissal

If you believe you have been unfairly dismissed from your job, you may have the right to bring a claim. We are specialist employment solicitors based in Wiltshire, advising employees on unfair dismissal claims, settlement agreements, and workplace disputes.

We provide clear, practical advice to help you understand your rights and take the next steps with confidence.

What is unfair dismissal?

Unfair dismissal occurs when your employer terminates your employment without a fair reason or without following a proper process.

Common examples include:

  • Being dismissed without a valid reason

  • Lack of proper investigation or disciplinary procedure

  • Dismissal based on discrimination

  • Being selected unfairly for redundancy

  • Dismissal for raising concerns (whistleblowing)

If you have been dismissed in any of these circumstances, you may be entitled to compensation.

Time limits for claims 

Unfair dismissal claims must usually be brought within 3 months less one day from the date your employment ended.

Before making a claim, you must also notify ACAS and go through Early Conciliation.

Acting quickly is essential to protect your rights.
